How do I add U S holidays to ical

Some U S Holidays are missing ,ie:Thanksgiving.

I thought that I would post what I have found out so far in case it might help someone else.
One way to do this is to download an app to the iPhone that contains the holidays. I found one called USAHolidays that was free. You can then export the holidays from the app to your calendar. They then sync with your calendar on iCloud. The only problem is that this app is a little unwieldly. You have to check off each holiday that you want to export for each year. And it only includes years 2011-2015.
Of course the other way to do this is to just post the holidays manually to either the iPhone calendar or the iCloud calendar as recurring events and let them sync up. (It is probably easier to post to the iCloud.) You would only have to do this one time. This will put the holidays on to your calendars indefinitely. The problems with this are the "holidays" relating to Easter (Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Easter Sunday).. The logic to determine those days is beyond the capabilities of the calendaring function. You would have to look those dates up and post them manually for each year. I know that not everyone is interested in having all of these "holidays" on their calendar, so the problem would be minimized for them.
This may be basic stuff for a lot of you experts, but some of use are newbies and learning as we go.

  • How do I 'Add a mail account to iCal'?

    Hi,
    I am trying to use the feature in mail in Leopard where you could hilight text in an email and create a new task. Since upgrading to SL I can only do this for my mobileme account and not my work account or gmail account that are set up in the same way as under Leopard.
    When I hilight text in these account and go to the tick icon to create a task I get a message 'The to-do account is unavailable until you add the selected account to iCal'. I can't find any documentation on how to do this. I also have 'Create Notes and To dos' set to 'On my Mac'.
    Anyone have this problem and know how to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    OK, here it comes =) A little Jiggery Pokery
    You need to play with the Mail setup to make it do what you need SOOOOO here is how you do it (I just set it up with my sbcglobal.net address)
    Go into Mail and choose preferences
    Select accounts and then click the + button
    Now, here comes the Jiggery Pokery... You need to enter a fake email address to trick Mail into not automatically setting it to IMAP. So... enter your real name but enter a fake address (you can use the one I used in the picture)
    Now, click continue. It will bring you to the manual setup screen!!! =)
    You want to select POP....
    You can give any description you want...
    use pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com for incoming mail server
    enter your username (should be [email protected])
    enter your password and click Continue
    You now get the outgoing mail settings
    Enter anything in description
    Outgoing mail server is smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com
    I did not tell it to use authentication and it went through the test.
    Now once it is done you can add the account and you are EMAILING!

  • How to easily add my work schedule to iCal

    Hello all,
    My problem is that I want to add 12-14 shifts to iCal each month that are always different as far as the date, but the hours worked are always the same. I was wondering if theres an addon or automator application that will allow me to add a 12 hour shift to March 3,6,12,25, and 30 all at once, as long as the hours are the same.
    I see you can repeat an event, but it will want to do the same dates the next month, and my dates the next month will be totally different.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ajbrutico

    Not sure about an automator script, but you could just create the first event, then copy/paste it in to the other dates you need it in. Since your recurrence is pretty random I don't know that there will be a way to automate it.

  • How can I add my own calendars in iCal?

    I have recently added new calendars to iCal (File>New Calendar Group) in preparation to import my google calendars (previously exported).  However when I am prompted to choose the calendar in which to import the data, the options I have created are 'greyed' out.  How do I activate these calendars so I can choose them?

    Hi
    You need to create a calendar (File -> New Calendar). With calendar groups you can group several calendars but you need calendars, as only calendars can contain events.

  • How do I add Holidays to my Calendar Server?

    How do I add Holidays to my Calendar Server?
    <p>
    Adding Holidays to your Calendar Server is done via the Netscape
    Calendar Client by going to the Edit|Holidays pull-down menu.
    This option can only be accessed by those users who have been given
    the admin rights to add holidays.
    If you wanted to give "John Smith" admin rights to add holidays on
    a Calendar Server with a node id of 10000, you would do the
    following:
    o Login as 'root' or 'unison' to your Calendar Server.
    o Change directories to /users/unison/bin.
    o Run the command:
    uniadmrights -e "S=Smith/G=Bob" -hday -n 10000
    Now the user John Smith can add/delete/modify holidays on the
    Calendar Server.

    Include birthday in your contacts using the Contacts app.  Then in Calendar go to the list of calendars (touch the red Calendars at the mid bottom of the screen), scroll down until you find the Birthday calendar, and touch it so that it has a tick mark beside it.  Not only will the birthday show up every year, it will even tell you how old they are!

  • How can I add a new message(custom text message) to the holiday approval em

    How can I add a new message(custom text message) to the holiday approval email-notification sent to the manager?
    TIA

    The answer is 'not very easily', unless the information you want to display is the employee's leave balances. In 12.1.3 Oracle have delivered functionality that allows you to include the leave balances in the approval notifications out-the-box, ie, without customization.
    For any other information you're probably going to have to customize the standard delivered HRSSA workflow. Within this workflow, the Leave of Absence functionality uses the Notify Approver (Embedded) (HR_APPROVER_NTF) notification. The body of this notification is set to the Notify Approver (Embedded) (HR_NTF_EMBEDDED_REGION) attribute. This in turn defaults to:
    JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=-&HR_EMBEDDED_REGION-&NtfId=-&#NID-
    So essentially you can change the HR_APPROVER_NTF notification. The problem with changing this notification is that it's generic - it's used for all SSHR functions and not just Leave of Absence. That means you have to make other, more substantial, customizations to the workflow to ensure the changes you make only applies to LOA.
    The other option is to personalize the review page (ie, the region referenced in &HR_EMBEDDED_REGION) to include whatever messages you want. But that means they'll appear on the Review page and all LOA approval notifications and that might not be what you want.
    It's usually better to live with what Oracle deliver and find an alternative solution! What's the content of the message you want to include?
